I thought I was safe from this if I installed windows on a completely separate harddrive… I clearly overestimated Microsoft’s ability to make on operating system that does not act like literal malware. Oh well! I guess I’m 100% linux now.

      It’s worth noting that this isn’t a bug in the tpm uhh 1.1(?) specification. It’s working as intended.

      The system was designed to prevent compromises from software attacks and people yanking the hard drives, not keep an enterprising uart-haver at bay.

      State level attackers were never the target of the tpm and neither were downwardly mobile highly educated individuals.
